Marsboy

Marsboy

When the blinding rays of an asteroid was reaching mars, the 'supra-universal' rays gave super powers to a boy in mars. He decided to 'use his powers for the good of his people' as Marsboy.

In May 1950, mars scientists told Marsboy that they had discovered that their people originally resided in the lost continent of Mu (which is later identified as Atlantis) on the planet Earth and had fled to Mars after learning it was doomed. Also, they neded a formula for making water that resided in the Sphinx on earth, so they could save Mars from doom. After battling with Superboy to get it, Superboy tells Marsboy the contents of the secret document hidden inside a copper container, which Marsboy's x-ray vision could not penetrate.

Marsboy's secret identity is Sutri, but uses the alias 'Joe Mars' while on Earth. (Superboy No. 13/1, May 1950: "The Boy From Mars")

When Superboy was taking a vacation, Marsboy challenges him to exchange places to prove that earth was easier because it had a simpler civilization. After having lots of problems and almost exposing their secret identities, they change back. (Superboy No. 16/3, "Superboy on Mars")

Marsboy is almost identical to Superboy except for the following things:

- Protects Mars instead of Earth.

- Gets his power from a radioactive meteor.

- His X-Ray vision cannot penetrate copper instead of lead.

- Is invulnerable to all substances except for ditanite instead of kryptonite.
